Click the photos to view! | During snack, we went on a mission for information about what our friend's snack bags are filled with. Recyclables? Garbage? Organic waste? Clip boards, paper and pencils in hand, we were ready to go. We partnered up and went from table to table asking everyone about what they had in their snack bag. Once we were done, we went back to class to put all our data together. Our findings were quite good, we concluded. Lots of great observations based on the results. Some friends noted that they saw lots of reusable containers and the big difference between the two numbers was also pointed out! We will do some more work with the information we gathered, including graphing and discussion about how to minimize the amount of garbage. This was also a great counting exercise. We worked on skip counting by 5 using the tally marks and by 2 just for fun! DISCLAIMER: The results are probably not 100% accurate! |
